Jane Francis

[hencarrai]

Hello,
Can someone find the marriage and spouse of Jane please?
In 1861 she is Jane FRANCIS, a widow age 30, a Coal Miner, born Bedwellty. She has a 5 year old daughter Martha. Census says Jane is sister of head.
They are with the JONES family at Cottages, Lower Rassau, Llangynidr, Beaufort, Brecs.
John JONES, Head, age 40, a Hitcher in Mine Pitt, born Peterston, Mon.
Mary JONES, wife age 32, born Bedwellty, plus two sons.
RG9/4216/44/p18
Many thanks,
Rob

A copy of Martha's birth cert will give her fathers name

Births September qtr 1855 
Martha Francis     Crickhowell    11b   114

Jane & Mary were born Bedwelty  - You can't rule out she was Mary's sister rather than John's in which case her maiden name may not have been Jones.

hi there hope this helps possible partner to above George francis family search
martha francis  christened 8 june 1857 beaufort monmouthshire parents George and jane looking at childs age in 1861 take away her age 5 about right but I also found a  Edward francis with wife jane and daughter Martha christened 15 june 1856 forden Montgomery wales

The 1861 shows Martha was b Llangynider Breconshire which is in the Crickhowell RD

[groom]

They are with the JONES family at Cottages, Lower Rassau, Llangynidr, Beaufort, Brecs.

That would fit with a Beaufort christening.

[groom]

IF that is the right one a possible death for her father, however that would mean he'd just died if Jane was a widow in 1861, as the census was 7 April.

Thanks everyone.
Carole, I was thinking (hoping) that Jane and Mary would be sisters. (Maiden name PLUMMER).
I'll order Martha birth certificate and go from there.

There is a marriage on freebmd between George Francis and Jane Plumer Dec qtr 1851 Abergavenny.  That's why I wondered if she was Mary's sister rather than John's

Looks good, Carole.
I'll let you know what Martha's certificate says.
Thanks again
